Nezavi [6.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

<em>The tension in the web is 0.017738 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force</u>

The net force exerted on an object is the sum of the vectors of each individual force applied to an object.

If the net force equals 0, then the object is at rest or moving at a constant speed.

The spider described in the question is hanging at rest. It means the sum of the forces it's receiving is 0.

A hanging object has only two forces: The tension of the supporting string (in our case, the web) and its weight. If the object is in equilibrium, the tension is numerically equal to the weight:

T=W=m.g

The mass of the spider is m=1.81 gr = 0.00181 Kg, thus the tension is:

T = 0.00181\ Kg\cdot 9.8\ m/s^2

T=0.017738\ N

The tension in the web is 0.017738 N

Fe2(co3)3 number of atoms​
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

14 atoms

Explanation:

Number of atoms in Fe₂(CO₃)₃

An atom is the smallest indivisible particle that takes part in a chemical reaction.

In Fe₂(CO₃)₃; we have:

   Elements       Number of atoms

          Fe                       2

          C                         3

          O                     3(3) = 9

Total number of atoms = 2 + 3 + 9  = 14 atoms

What would be the resonant frequency for a series RLC circuit with the following components: a 1,000 Ω resistor, a 900 mH induc
lesya [120]

Answer:

<em>The resonance frequency = 0.978 Hz</em>

Explanation:

Resonance: This is a point in an A.c circuit where the capacitive reactance is equal to the inductive reactance. The frequency at resonance is called<em> Resonance Frequency. Mathematically, </em><em>resonance frequency is expressed as</em>

f₀ = 1/2π√(LC)......................................... Equation 1

Where f₀ = resonance frequency, L = inductance of the inductor, C = capacitance

<em>Given: L = 900 mH = (900/1000) H = 0.9 H, C = 0.014 mF = (0.014/1000) F = 0.000014 F</em>

<em>Constant: π = 3.143</em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

f₀ = 1/2×3.143√(0.9×0.000014)

f₀ = 1/6.286√(0.0000126)

f₀ = 1/6.286×0.00355

f₀ = 1/0.0223

f₀ = 0.978 Hz.

<em>Therefore the resonance frequency = 0.978 Hz</em>

1. When a car turns sharply to the right, objects in the back seat move to the left. Why?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Explanation: It is inertia that causes the passengers to move toward the right side of the car. As the car swerves to left, passengers' body continues their motion as hitherto and as such it causes the passengers to move toward the right side of the car.
